What a load of nonsense this "super computer" stuff is (No offence by the way.)
-
Glory, glory Man United. Our title charge is on
-
The Van Dijk one was deliberate and as a result a lot worse. Kulusevski cannot move out the way there, think that's unreasonable to suggest personally.
-
What is amusing is the lack of awareness around the Gordon decision and Botman Yellow though, which - for me is a lack of balance despite Spurs claiming it is others showing a lack of balance. I think (personally) I am aware of most of my own biases but the comments I've seen and heard of Spurs' fans seem to be entirely void of any self awareness of said biases.
-
There's more to suggest that tbf.
-
I think Man United will be absolutely demolished today like.
-
Dubravka has been solid for us since coming in, I'd even go as far as saying he shouldn't be dropped when Pope returns, based on current form.
-
I did think he was their best player tbf. Probably Tino for us I reckon.
-
Aye - I just watched this back too and it's like "WTF". Seems to me it's only Tottenham fans, players and managers whinging about the referees bias. The Joelinton one (elbow) was literally just players jostling and not an actual elbow. The Dan Burn one hits his sleeve (which I thought wasn't officially a handball now anyways) and despite his arm being in an unnatural position to start with he brings it in to avoid the handball. The ball is played off his arm as opposed to him moving the arm towards the ball. A freekick was probably the right and measured response - albeit I too would be annoyed if I were them. The Joelinton handball is also ball to hand but this time Joelinton has his arm in a natural position which doesn't then go to the goalscorer, it goes to Bruno who then assists the goalscorer. By the rules (I believe) that isn't classed as a direct benefit to the goalscorer and as a result a handball now. Gordon collides with Kulusevski and has his nose burst, and it's an "accidental collision" where the attacker has turned into the defender - I can accept that - as someone who has played defence regularly. I too would feel it was harsh if given. However, for Botman to then be booked and a free kick given for the exact same thing (albeit with lesser contact) is double standards as you rightly say. If memory serves me right it's 30seconds for a goal, there were 3 first half so that's 1min 30secs. 4 were added. So let's just say it isn't and it is 1min per goal instead - 4mins might be about right when considering other instances that half. The second half though - no goals scored. If a substitution is 30seconds that'd be 4mins. Therefore, I presume that it's now a minute per substitution - but if that is the case you hardly ever, ever see that amount given in other games. Nearly 13 minutes were played. So all this talk of time wasting is absolutely farcical. Spurs lashed the ball across goal twice in one instance in the second half and aside from that did insufficient to score. Newcastle wasted two or three similar chances and scored from the other chances they did create. Goals win games. We scored more. Dummy back in Tottenham.

To join a champions league side...(from his point of view). To better utilise the money for their squad from their point of view though, I'd hazard a guess.
-
Yep this is my general feeling now. I'd like to think we get 12 points over our next 4 league games. My expectation would be to at least get 6 points and go unbeaten in the next 4 (league) games. Southampton are woeful, that has to be 3 points. I'd be disappointed not beating the others at home nowadays though. That'd have us on 47 points with 42 left to play for...
-
I'd be upset if given against us, put it that way, but could also see from a neutral perspective why it'd be given. Similar to the Joelinton handball. Could see why it'd be given but actually, by the rules, I don't believe it should have been. One benefitted us, one benefitted Spurs.
-
That's the thing. I'd expect us to strip the numbers back there and it may be that Trafford comes in to become number one with Pope being sold in the summer and Vlach our second keeper. Or my alternative above of Trafford and Pope as the front two...
-
Aye. I think him and Pope are a solid two and maybe keep Vlachadimos if we can. Get shot of Dubravka whilst we can and Ruddy and Gillespie (unless they're utilised for other reasons behind the scenes).
-
Punched in the chest and coughing up blood playing for Newburn was one of mine.
-
I've been winded a few times mate and never done that
-
I'm lying in bed with wor lass and you got me with this you skank.
-
Will be a fantastic time to really gather and harness momentum ahead of 2 really important semis and hopefully a final. When we went into the final last ti e we had just had a barren period.
-
I just don't normally see folk roll around relentlessly when winded tbh, normally they're doubled owa trying to catch their breath perhaps I am being harsh.
-
I don't have an issue with their fans being unhappy about that tbh, I have more of an issue that they disregard or don't even consider the Gordon collision though when that was equally as controversial. When you think of that one and the Van Dijk one that should have been, the latter was even worse as it was deliberate and dangerous. Also Spurs had like 16 minutes added on today - so what's all this time wasting nonsense they got 106 minutes.
